But heading into Sunday's final round of the Wegmans LPGA Championship, Piller may have found the perfect distraction for those "I-want-to-win" nerves.

Her husband, Martin, leads the Web.com Tour's News Sentinel Open in Knoxville, Tenn.

So while Gerina is in a tie for fifth place in the Wegmans LPGA, four shots behind front-runner Brittany Lincicome, she won't be peeking at the leaderboard at Monroe Golf Club as much as she'll be asking for updates from Knoxville.

"I probably freak out more than he does," she said, referring to her anxiety about how he performs. "He's probably going to be cool as a cucumber and I'm probably going to be stressing out all day."

Sunday could be quite a day for this golfing husband and wife. They were married in 2011.

"I'm excited for him; moreso for him," she said. "What great news, to come to the scorer's tent and have someone say he's leading. I'm just really excited that we're in this situation."

Gerina maintains nothing will change with their normal Sunday routine. "I usually talk to him in the morning when I wake up," she said, "and then he sends me a text when he's heading to the tee and vise-versa."

“I probably freak out more than he does. He's probably going to be cool as a cucumber and I'm probably going to be stressing out all day.”

Gerina Piller on her husband, who is currently leading a Web.com Tour event

Martin has won twice on the Web.com Tour. Both victories came in 2010, helping him earn his way on to the PGA Tour for 2011. But in 23 PGA events that year, he had just one top-25 finish, he missed the cut 16 times and was back on the Web tour in 2012.

Gerina, a 29-year-old native of Roswell, N.M., has recorded four top-10 finishes this year, including a tie for third at the Shoprite LPGA Classic to start June. Her closest brush with victory was a runner-up finish at the CME Group Titleholders in November 2012.

Her mindset isn't to become consumed with wondering when Victory No. 1 will come.

"If I'm meant to win one, I'll win one," said Piller, whose best finish in a major (a tie for sixth) came at the Wegmans LPGA Championship in 2012. "All I can do is control what I do and hit good shots."

She hit quite a few on Saturday, when a sizzling putter helped her play a bogey-free, 3-under-par round. She is 6-under for the tournament.

In some ways, she's surprised at where she stands. "My swing has not been good at all and I had a little panic session with my coach (earlier in the week)."

Her putter saved her. Like on No. 18 on Saturday, when she left a 35-foot birdie putt about eight or nine feet short but rolled in the par save.

"That's not the only one of the round," she said. "I had quite a few of those today. Sometimes it's hard to get yourself to hit the putts when they're uphill and slow because you don't want that one coming back past the pin."

There's a good chance on Sunday that she'll be more worried about how her husband is playing 750 miles away in Knoxville than how she is putting.
